This system rules,
By DD (Alexandria, VA USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: RCA DS4440RE DIRECTV PLUS Multi-Satellite System with Free Pro-Installation (Electronics)
If you have more than 2 TV's this is the system for you. I've got 4 DSS reciver boxes hooked up to mine and it's great. Also it is ready for the future. It points at 2 satellites, one gets you normal channels and the other gets the spanish channels, HDTV channels and some other stuff also. The price is a little high on this system, but the hardware required to enable a standard Dual LMB Dish to handle upto 4 TV's makes the price about the same. If you want to be ready for the future and you have more than 2 TV's then this is the system to get.

I'm not a big RCA fan in general, but after having Hughes, Sony and now RCA units, I'm pretty certain RCA is out in front in the DSS business. This particular dish & receiver were added because we subscribed to 'DirecTV Para Todos' service (DSS in Spanish) and that requires the slightly larger, elliptical dish. The bigger dish (which can 'see' 3 satellites vs the 1 seen by the smaller, 18" round dish) is also required for the growing number of local, network affiliate stations DSS is rolling out. The guts of the system are within the receiver box. Speed of the processors is now pretty much standard (32 bit) among manufacturers, so sound processing, menu styles and remote control options are the only notable differences, besides reliability and price. My experience leads me to believe RCA has the edge in the last two areas, making this unit my favorite.

This is the dish to have, Satellite is the way to go,
By "dmgdgc" (Wine country, CA. USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: RCA DS4440RE DIRECTV PLUS Multi-Satellite System with Free Pro-Installation (Electronics)
I have had Directv for roughly three years, started out with the general single LNB and the Satellite companies weren't offering local channels yet, but I loved the on screen menus and features that Satellite has versus cable, I quickly went out and bought this dish, The new elliptical oval one that can shoot to three different Satellites and you can hook up four different receivers. I love this dish and I love Directv, before taking the plunge with this more expensive dish and buying two more receivers I researched the "Dish Network" offers they have...and personally I have two relatives who have satellite with them and their on-screen menus and other features just don't match up to RCA's and Directv's products. And also the free installation is wonderful, they call your home, set-up an appt and come over and install it and your done....it is so easy, you can't pass it up. We receive English and Spanish channels and we have the HBO package as well and we only spend 45 a month, with so many channels to choose from you can't go wrong, satellite is the way to go!
